Daniel made it through the first 24 hours which seems to be the most critical time in a preemie's life.
Daniel was put on a respirator to assist with his breathing, he was started out at 60% oxygen and is now down to 40%. Daniel has been breathing above the respirator which is a very good sign.
Daniel's blood sugar was low right after birth but that was elevated and gotten under control quickly.
Daniel has jaudince (a yellow discoloration of teh skin and whites of the eyes) and is being treated with phototherapy.
Mommy was very sick last night and was not able to see Daniel. She woke up this morning ready to see her boy.
Daniel was struggling with his breathing tonight. His nurse (Laura) said the nursery had been busy today and all the activity seemed to stress him out. They moved all the crying babies to another part of the nursery and Laura told everyone that it "Daniel's area" must be kept quiet.
Daniel is only a day old and is already ruling the world.
Thanks Laura for watching out for our little man.
